I've been a smoker for about four years now, and I think it's a good thing that they are moving towards banning cigarettes (even if it's just the flavored ones). I was an incredibly stupid child that started smoking because her older brother did, which obviously got me nowhere, and although I'm not sure this will actually help, it's a step in the right direction.

Anyone who responds so angrily to this ban is still in denial that it's an addiction - one that will most likely eventually kill you or cause such serious health issues that you wish you were dead. The reason why you don't want to stop or feel you can't has a lot more to do with the habitual action of smoking and psychological dependency you've probably developed, rather than just the fact that you "like" it.

What I really wish is that they'd sell some damn tobacco that wasn't filled with filthy chemicals and poisons. Quitting is just so damn difficult and it would be nice to know that I was killing myself a little less.

I mean, smoking just plain old tobacco really isn't that bad for you. Sure, smoking anything will cause some amount of lung damage, but that's not really what the problem is. And if the cigarette companies didn't quadruple the amount of nicotine in each cigarette, people would smoke a lot less anyways.

Personally, I think banning cigarettes is a good thing (even if it is just flavored ones). It slowly moves people into a healthier age, whether they like it or not.

I like this post.

Add on:

If people want to do it, keep it in your property lines. Don't take it to social events. keep other people in mind others may not like it because it is harmful for them. Some may not like it because of the smell etc but you also have to keep in mind that there are others who are heavily affected by the smoke and maybe they do try and keep out of it but sometimes its just not possible and can lead to a miserable time and a trip to the hospital _________________
